Your doc knows you: Your doc has been following you all along and knows when it is safer for you to have the baby. As i said earlier, 34 wks is a good age and baby will do well. So, if your doc is saying it is ok, i would follow his/her recommendation/care. Good luck to you.

Seek care for pain.: Your doctor may not want to stop your contractions (and rightfully so if you are past 34 weeks), but (s)he is still responsible to you for pain control and monitoring of fetal well-being. I would recommend you are hospitalized for at least a few days to assure that both you and the fetus are in good shape.
